The story concerns Celia Granger, her son David and her efforts to maintain the traditions attached to her family and home, a magnificent old mansion on the Hudson River ...

Suddenly a young maid is killed and Celia finds herself living in a violent present

The detective on the case - a rugged self-made man - is revealed to have admired Celia and he brings a touch of romance to her life

But when the chauffeur - who had stumbled upon information linking David and the murdered maid - is also brutally murdered, suspicion falls on every member of the cast

The climax finds Celia alone in the house and the murderer ready to strike again ...

"A swell chiller. A couple of juicy killings and the identify of the culprit well concealed" ~ N.Y. Mirror

"A fast moving, highly tensed whodunit" ~ London Stage
